    I didn't change a thing on the settings. It's whatever it was last year.

    Not saying you did mate but defo not the same. I know painfully as somebody that missed the playoffs last year on points scored :cool:

    Its not a big deal anyway I guess just something I noticed, once everybody is aware of it.

    I don't mind changing it to whatever it's supposed to be. How would it have changed though? Do settings reset or anything?

    Trade has gone through anyway with me getting the better of it I think. I really thought freeman was going to have a break out season this year so the chance to trade my 4th WR behind Kenny Britt and a running back in dwyer that wont see any gametime for an upgrade at QB and handcuff in Battle means I should be in a stronger position for this year.

    Only time will tell who gets the better of that trade. The Dwyer thing was a complete long shot wanted to hope he put in a serious week before mendehall and redmon got going and rob playing time didnt work cest la vie.

    That said My recieving corps is better now and and we both got rid of bench players for starters so works for both of us TBH.

    One week in neither Palmer or Floyd did anything, So neither of us can afford to be too smug. :)

    That said Im now 3-1 and have the top score for the week having had the second top score in the league last week so Im not overly upset with how things are going thus far.

    Somehow find myself at 4-0 despite making a bit of a mess of the draft. Managed to pick up David Akers and Josh Freeman off waivers this week, which I'm very happy about.

    Team is starting to take a bit of shape with Hartline doing very well, hopefully Jordy nelson starts producing a bit as well...

    guys the way of working out ties is confusing the hell out of me.

    Can anybody explain what the hell is going on as Id like to at least know how it works.

    Im bottom of the 4th division and we all have identical 3-1 records

    I havent the lowest points scored (so cant be that)
    I havent the lowest points differential (so cant be that)
    I havent the lowest head to head record (so cant be that)

    It has me totally confused and I really want to know what is the tie breaker.

    Dillion panters "lead" the division yet have the worst points scored and worst head to head in the division I cant understand whats going on at all, but given theres a high probability at least one tie will happen across the league for playoff sports / seeding etc I think we need to figure out whats going on.

    Nor do i. The settings say head to head but clearly it isnt working that way.

    Im raising it now because its gonna kick off come playoff time if somebody unfairly misses out in a tie break situation.

    I can manually put teams in the playoffs come the time so don't lose too much sleep over it. I have no idea why it's not sorting properly.

    I could of been 2-2 but that blown call in the seattle green bay game cost me and now its looking like i´ll go 1-4, another tough year especially since i could very well be 1-5 after next week as well

    Another good week this week. Moved to 4-1

    Opponent is finished and Im ahead and still have Schaub to play tonight. Going to have one of the top scores in the league for the third week in a row which is nice.

    If its not Schaub throwing for 4 td's its Jamal Charles rushing for over 200 yards if its not that its Colston catching 3 TD's :D:D

    Getting absolutely hockeyed by Raoul this week. He still has foster to go but is already well ahead, Cam, Jordy Nelson, Lawfirm, Hartline etc all terrible.

    Next week looking dodgy too with Graham and Newton both on bye weeks.

    Hopefully peyton doesnt put up 30 points tonight, our division is by far the weakest around, all 4 teams will be 2-4. I am screwed though as murray has gone down and with forte and bush left to carry the load its going to be a tough few weeks

    two very clear groups of teams so far, those with terrible records and those doing well. in the weakest division 3 of us at 2-4 so tis all up for grabs. I think if someone can go 2-1 next three games they will put some space between themselves and the rest of the guys. Losing record to the playoffs ftw

    Forgot to set Miami (18 points!) as my D after picking them up so no D playing this week :mad:

    Despite that 88 points with 2 players to go. Should pick up the win but if I'm pipped I'll be raging.

    Dwyer being out hinders me a bit, looks like it will be double backfield of forte and bush this week. cannot complain too much though, somehow managed to be 4-4 with 3 win streak despite having the lowest points scored. if i can keep it up when i get my stars back healthy i should be able to hold onto first place in our terrible division

    I just looked at it there now and the standings tiebreaker is down as head to head record. It should be points for and thats what has been creating all the confusion since the start I think.

    Head to Head is the default and how the Prem is set. This only separates ties.

    As for the team in 1st not in playoffs. Did the LM fix the 4 teams going to playoffs to 6? Should be Weeks 14,15,16 with 6 teams.

    I dont get why though the guy in first isnt in playoffs. There is no setting to define who goes in other than defining the number. NFL.com has always done it on ranking though.

    Rules here:

    It goes division standings (all 6-3)

    Super Best Friends
    Corrigeen Crusaders
    Dillion Panthers

    Yet it has Dillon Panthers (me) ranked 1st overall and 1st seed, Crusaders ranked 3rd overall with 5th seed and Super Best Friends ranked 5th overall and outside the playoffs.

    The second seed is ranked second and tops their division at 6-3.
    The third seed is ranked 6th but tops their division at 5-4.
    The forth seed ranks 10th but tops their division at 5-4.

    Those three seeds make sense as they've topped their division.

    If I'm not top my division how am I #1 seed

    same as last year div 4 had 4 teams with winning records then aswell.

    Its a pain in the ass being 7-4 and not being in the playoff spots when teams at 5-6 are but thats fantasy football for ya. I missed out on the playoffs last year with an 8-5 record i think and might miss out with an even better record this year

    And I'm still the top scorer and stuck on 6-5, keep getting beaten by small amounts by teams having a better than average day. All I can do is hope that things go right for me from here on and I get my just rewards for averaging 98 points per week.

    amnt sure of a win this week up by 13 and a bit and he has Nicks. But assuming I win and go 8-5

    the wildcard battle will be the following 5 teams all failing to win thier divisions but sitting 8-5 so will it be the head to head of these teams against each other ?

    that doesnt make sense as not everybody has played everybody. if it is this is how it turns out

    Lucan Liverbirds 2-1
    Dillon Panthers 2-1
    Dublin Blades 2-1
    Eagle Eyed Patriots 1-2
    Dundalk Oriels 1-3

    with Lucan and Dillon getting the spots on points scored.

    Im pretty sure it will be Eagle Eyed and Dundalk who make it on points scored though

    Either way Im on course to miss the playoffs for the second year in a row with an 8-5 record. HARSH !!

    Yeah, can't believe I am missing out. From 2nd seed most of the season to not even getting into a wildcard position. Very tough league this year. Good to see the majority of teams being active.

    Personally I think 16 team leagues are less fun as you don't really have enough room to pick a good player off the waiver.

    There have been good waiver pick ups though, Eagle eye picked up Leshore and Cobb, I've picked up Bryce Brown and Felix Jones.

    Not a huge amount of them but there have been good players there to pick up.

    enough waiver talent picked up if you were smart then agian its good to see not too much talent floating around its supposed to be a battle to find gems. OK very few elite talents but plenty of viable options to improve lots of teams.


    Josh Freeman #11 QB
    Russell Wilson #16 QB
    Colin Kaepernick QB

    Mikel Leshoure #20 RB
    Felix Jones #25 RB
    Joique Bell #26 RB
    Bryce Brown RB

    Randal Cobb #14 WR
    Cecli Shorts #15 WR
    James Jones #19 WR
    Golden Tate #32 WR
    Josh Gordon #33 WR
    Brian Hartline #34 WR

    I presume it will go on points scored to decide ties of more than 2 people? If so you should get in alright.
